minute statements urging water
users in this area to vote in favor
of the soil conservation district
for the county in tomorrow's ref

the effect of increasing the sup

California Senate Airs
Ban On Slot Machines
Sacramento, Mar. 21 (U.R)
Two bills designed to drive slot
machines out of California were
halfway through the legislature
today, and their chances to get
all the way appeared improved
Th. a.mhiv nassed the two
macnine-seizure -billsMatc
vesterday. bv votes of 67 to 3
and 68 to 2. They were sent im
mediately to the senate and re
ferred to the upper house judici
ary committee, where similar
bills died for lack of one vote
last year.
Later, the chairman of the ju
diciary committee, who voted
against the bills last time, said he
might vote for them this time.
Both bills would make mere
possession of slot machines
against the law. Now officers
have to prove they are actually
used for gambling. One bill
would include "free play" ma
chines In the ban.
Assemblyman Ralph Brown
(D., Modesto), author of one of
the bills, argued that slot ma
chines had become "a big busi
ness in California, not a little
business like it used to be." He
said law enforcement officers
were asking for the bills.
"If we stand for law enforce
ment, let's have it or wipe it off
books," he said.
He said assemblymen got more
than 5.000 telegrams yesterday,
all apparently against the bills.
Assemblyman Jonathan J. Hol
libaugh (R., Huntington Park)
contended the bills "look like a
lot of political skulduggery."
"We'd do better," he said, "to
pass laws to send to jail law en
forcement officers who deliber
ately refuse to enforce the law
we've got now."

Quit Squabbling,
Chairman Tells
State Democrats
Portland, Ore.. Mar. 21 (U.R)
William L. Josslin, democratic
state chairman, today asked
democratic candidates to stop
wrangling among themselves.
Josslin specifically urged State
Sen. Austin F. Flcgcl and State
Treasurer Walter J. Pearson to
"quiet down."
"I am not opposed to any can
didates making fair and temper
ate comments on the voting rec
ord and public utterances of a
fellow democrat," Josslin said.
Denied By Pearson
"Last Saturday night in Coos
Bay, Sen. Flegel charged that
State Treasurer Walter J. Pear
son in a speech at Waldport last
fall described republican ex-governor
John R. Hall as the best
governor Oregon has ever had.
This statement was heatedly de
nied by Pearson.
"I can foresee trouble if that
sort of thing persists."
Josslin said he had "heard
rumors" that "some of the three
democratic candidates for gov
ernor are going to take the hide
off their oppopents" at an an
ual banquet of the young demo
cratic clubs of Oregon next Sat
urday. "I have known and liked all
three candidates for many years.
I do not want to see them knock
each other out in the primary
and thereby let the incumbent
republican governor saunter to
victory next November 7. The
governor race is the key to the
entire 1950 campaign and can
not be allowed to get out of
hand."

Bridges Hearing
Witnesses Claimed
Unreliable, Loose
Defense Attorney
In Closing Argument
San Francisco. Mar. 21 (U.R)
The entire government case
against Labor Leader Harry
Bridges has no weight because
all prosecution witnesses are
'unreliable and loose." Defense
Attorney Vincent H a 1 1 1 n a n
claimed today in his closing ar
gument. Hallinan, in the third day of
his summary, told the federal
district court jury of eight men
and four women that since some
of the ex-communists who tes
tified for the government ad
mitted they were "coached to
lie," by the red party, their tes
timony is suspect.
Duty of Jury
"And if there is any doubt,
any doubt at all about whether
they are telling the truth, it is
the jury's duty to give the bene
fit to the defendant," he said.
Bridges is accused of lying at
his 1945 naturalization hearing
when he swore he was not a
communist. Most of the witnesses
against him at the trial were ad
mitted former communists who
claimed the CIO longshore un
ion chief was a card-carrying,
dues-paying party member for a
10-year period.
Hallinan quoted testimony
by Mervyn Rathbome, In which
Rathborne admitted he had lied,
on orders from the party, when
he. appeared . before ..the house
un-American affairs committee
and a state legislative body in
vestigating communism.
Then the attorney sought to
destroy the credibility of John
Schomaker, a longshoreman who
said he was present at a water
front cafe meeting in 1934 when
Bridges assertcdly signed a com
munist application blank and
later paid party dues.
"We come to the point that
your verdict depends on the
credibility of Schomaker," Hal
linan said. "Everything else is
window dressing and Scho
maker also lied."
Earlier, Hallinan claimed
someone "high up in the U. S.
immigration service" instigated
the trial against Bridges. Halli
nan said Bridges had been a
"marked man" since the 1934
water front strike."

Juvenile Court Judge Arthur
C. Shcpard conducted the 15
minute session for Alice, 14, who

U.S. Meat Grading
Reinstated To Plants
Portland. Ore., Mar. 21 U.R
U. S. department of agriculture
meat grading, temporarily with
drawn late Monday from eight
Oregon packing plants, was re
instated today.
J. R. Maize, regional supervi
sor of the U.S. D A. livestock
branch, tentatively waived the
department's requirements that a

spector's fee to the state depart
ment of agriculture rather than
to the graduate veterinarian.
Five Portland plants affected
by the requirements were sched

proved veterinarians today A
LaGrande packing plant already
has qualified. Checking of plants
at Medford and Cornelius was
scheduled to start today.

Ring Suspected 01
Selling Horsemeat
Being Investigated
Tenderloins Said To
Carry Beef Label
Chicago, Mar. 21 (U.R) The
government cracked down today
on a ring suspected of selling
horsemeat as high grade beef ten
derloins over wide sections of the
nation.
City, slate and federal authori
ties cooperated in a full scale- in
vestigation which agents expect
ed to reach into many of the big
packing centers of the midwest
and southwest.
About 12.000 pounds of mis
labeled horsemeat was seized in
a southside warehouse here yes
terday. Leaders Known
Agents said two men were
known to have acted as leaders
of the alleged ring but would not
disclose their names. No arrests
had been made as yet, it was em
phasized. Officials said the horsemeat
was shipped from Kansas City,
Mo., labelled properly as "horse
meat tenderloins" but at South
Bend, Ind., the meat underwent
processing to remove the label.
Then the meat was brought here
labeled simply as "terderloins"
and the stamp as "beef tender
loins" was added in the ware
house where the meat was
found.
The meat, officials said, was
owned by a Minnesota man.
Disclosed By Inspection
Details of the case were dis
closed bv Dr. O. W. Seller, in
charge of government meat In
spection in Chicago, and Dr. Her
man Bundesen, president of the
Chicago board of health.
The meat found here was one
of two parcels, they said. The sec
ond shipment, labeled as beef
tenderloins, was estimated at al
most 15,000 pounds and eventual
ly wound up at Dallas, Tex.
Smaller shipments, which slipped
by earlier, were traced to Dallas,
Fort Worth and Houston, Tex.,
and as far as Tampa, Fla.
Seher said 10 boxes of the ship
ment found here had been de
frosted and bore no trace of the
ereen marking required on horse
meat. Beef bears the familiar
purple seal guaranteeing govern
ment inspection.
Seher said the meat seized here
represented the flesh of about 1,
000 horses. As horsemeat, he
said, it would bring about 30
cents a pound but as beef tender
loins it could be retailed for $1
to $1.20 a pound.
Dave Hoover Starts
Senatorial Campaign
Eugene, Ore., Mar. 21 (U.R)
Dave Hoover, of Dcadwood in
western Lane county, launched
his campaign for the republican
nomination for U. S. senator
here last night before a crowd of
about 125 persons at Eugene high
school.
Hoover, who operates a 400
acre farm on Deadwood creek
near the Siuslaw river, criticized
Incumbent Sen. Wayne Morse for
his "senatorial record of repub
lican infidelity."
He said his own campaign
motto was that of his party
"liberty against socialism."
"No real republican candidate
should have to deviate from the
declared policy of his own party,
and rely on his own special,
newly-concocted motto, unless he
expects to use that motto as a
post election alibi, to hide be
hind, whenever he gets ready to
assassinate the republican par
ty," Hoover said.

BILLION PARED FROM
TRUMAN'S PROGRAM
Washington, Mar. 21 (UP) The house appro
priations committee today cut $1,567,900,504 from
President Truman's spending program in an omnibus
money bill that still left the 1951 budget four debt
raising billions in the red.
ReDortinar that it exhauster! "evwv nnssihlo of.
fort" to cut deeper, the
sj,U4a,uiU,ib4 appropriation for most of the govern
ment's agencies.
Only the defense establishment, which gets one
third of the money, was spared sizeable reductions.
The committee said it feared "certain very grave
risks" in giving the armed forces only $13,911,127,300.
The bill stalked up against Mr. Truman's requests
of $30,612,930,668 for the same minioses. He set that
figure in his fiscal 1951 budget which outlined $42,-
45o,uuu,uuu in spending and forecast a $5,133,171,372
deficit. ,
The committee, whose single package measure
covering all but foreign aid and fixed costs is the first
of its kind in 150 years, claimed only $979,489,060 of
its slash would reduce the deficit. The rest will be
lost paying hangover bills from 1950.
Expctd Deficit
Fixed At ti Billion
Thus the bill fixed the expect
ed deficit at $4,153,682,312 un
less congress cuts the omnibus
bill further and pares foreign
aid when it comes up in a later
bill.
Chairman Clarence Cannon
(D., Mo.) plans to steer the bill
onto the house floor next Mon
day for 10 days of debate. Repub
licans have announced they will
seek to cut it another $3 billion.
Cannon packed 10 or more
measures into the 431-page single
package this session for the first
such treatment in 150 years. It
was designed to put spending
alongside anticipated revenues of
$37,305,586,034 to impress con
gress with the economy drive.
Army Gats S3 Billion
The bill provided $3,010,882.-
300 for the army. $4,448,181,000
for the navy and 55,190,904,000
for the air force. Defense got a
total reduction of $203,332,700,
one of it in critcal spots.
"The committee feels that a
substantial reduction in the funds
requested would cripple the na
tional defense effort, a report
accompanying the bill said.
The committee said it believed
Mr. Truman exceeded his author
ity in holding up funds last year
tor a TO-group air force and tnat
funds now available would pro
vide only for 42 groups. It also
said Defense Secretary Louis
Johnson's civilian firings to re
duce costs are "encouraging."
Cash And Contract
The bill carries $27,266,403,
664 in cash and $1,778,626,500
in contiact authority for the gov
ernment's hundreds of bureaus.
In actual cash, the 1951 cut to
taled $1,385,377,504. It ranged
from nothing for the FBI to a
high of $530,000,000 for the so
called independent offices, such
as the atomic energy commis
sion. The same bills last year
were $2,709,000,000 higher.
Sen. Morse Requests
Video For Portland
Washington. Mar. 21 (U.R)
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.) to
day asked the federal communi
cations commission to make pos
sible immediate television facill

Morse wrote Wayne Coy. FCC
chairman, that the continued de
nial to Portland of television fa
cilities represented "gross indis
crimination" In view of the fact
that Portland was the only city
of Its size in the country without
television.
Portland has been blocked
from television by the FCC's
"freeze" on new permits until it
has determined the future of
color television and use of ultra
high frequency channels.
Morse said Portlanders were
not now Interested in color tele
vision and asked Coy if the
black-and-white freeze could be
lifted for Portland to permit
granting of one or more permits.

Spring Arrives In
Valley; Rain To
Delay Fruit Buds
Though spring arrived offi
cially at 8:34 p.m. yesterday, It
made Its debut In Medford this
morning with intermittent show
ers. There Is already an excess
of .62 inch of precipitation for
the month and today'i sprinkles
are hampering orchardlsts who
are still trying to finish the last
of their dormant spraying. The
ground Is still too wet to take
weighty spray rigs down the or
chard rows and time is running
out. Decreasing cloudiness but
more showers are forecast for
tomorrow.
Blossoms To Be Late
The blossom season is from
four to five days late this spring
and the valley 'a .orchard prob
ably will not burst into full
bloom until April 10 or 12, al
though a few days of warm
weather before that time could
hasten the process. In an aver
ave year the trees blossom out
by April 8.
Fruit tree buds are still hard
and resistant to frost dormant
spray is still being used but by
next week the spring frosts may
be causing worries to every hor
ticulturist In the area.
R. J. Rogers, federal meteor
ologist, is already on hand to
spread the cold snap alarm to
Rogue valley farms. Beginning
next Monday night he will begin
his annual series of frost warn-'
ing broadcasts from all three
Jackson county radio stations.
Tit Thrmomlrs
The county extension service,
operating on the same schedule
as fields and orchards after the
long winter, is using all its fa
cilities and experts to help farm
ers and ranchers get their, acre
ages back into full production.
An unfailing sign of spring in
the office of C. B. Cordy, county
agent for horticulture, are the
scores of orchard thermometers
that farmers have brought In for
testing.
The springtime pall of smudge
smoke may not be far off.
